Jacobbes Shan Granger's POV

It's been a year na din simula nung pinadala ako nila Mom at Dad dito sa pilipinas. All I can say naman is that nakaka adjust na rin ako sa environments at language dito.

It was really hard adjusting at first but I think I'm doing pretty good na din naman.

Though it's not really an easy task, but bit by bit, nagagama ko rin naman siya. I just need to be pretty patient.

After all, matatapos na din naman ito after nilang masettle ni Mom at Dad yung business namin doon sa London.

I'll just put it like that. Just to not be sad, of course. Ayaw ko rin namang maging malungkot lagi eh. I'll just look like an idiot.

Besides, them settling our business won't take long naman siguro, diba? I trust in both of my parents and I know that they will fulfill what they said to me a year ago.

They will get me back. Yes, Jacobbes, your parents will take you back there soon. Just hang in there, man. You'll be together with them soon, yey!

And one more thing, ayoko din naman kasi na lagi akong pinagsasabihan ng pamilya ko dito to cheer up. Nakakahiya din kasi eh.

Although it was hard at first to actually cheer up knowing that you are in a totally different country, tapos wala pa ang mga magulang mo. Aba'y todo iyak gabi-gabi eh. But I'm already done with that phase.

Unlike noon, di na ako gaano nahohomesick katulad dati.

With the help of my all of my relatives as well as my cousins, ay agad lang din namang nag-open yung loob ko sa kanilang lahat pati sa culture nila dito. All I can say that it's pretty interesting actually. Cool if I say so myself.

Everything is brand new to me but I am embracing everything here in Philippines. It's a bit hard, but I will learn and accept them all.

No other choice, ako yung pumunta dito kaya kailangan kong makisama. For an eight year old kid, I think and act like a matured adult, huh? What can I say?

I've been taught well. Both from school and my parents of course.

Anyways, thinking about it also, may dugo rin pala akong filipino sa mom side ko kaya it's unfair kung di ko ipagmamalaki ang kinalakihang bansa niya.

I surely miss my parents, but I know that we'll be together soon enough. I just hope na mabilis lang talaga yung settlement nila sa business namin.

Yes, I know that it'll just be quick. I just need to calm down. Babalikan nila ako. Phew!

And even if matatagalan pa siya ng ilang years, surely I can learn to be patient naman, siguro.

I hope.

Sa ngayon, I will have my time enjoying with my relatives here. Wow, ang dami ko na rin palang natutunan na tagalog this year. Well would you look at that, I am so proud of myself for getting this far.

Tinuruan ako nila na magsalita ng tagalog eh. And when I say 'nila', I meant my family here, my classmates and also my teachers sa school ko rito.

And though I'm still not fluent with everything on how a native speaker should talk, but they did not give up on me. They're teaching me slow which is why I can tell that my whole experience in learning the language is not so Flat roofin'.

Forgive me for my british slang. But that just means I am still british. No pun intended. Or is there even a pun in that?

Anyways,
